Lol nah, that's not what I meant.
Also, I admit I was a bit irked when I made the post, so apologies for the tone.
Basically I more meant a blatant change in posting style. For example, if I suddenly started making posts written in chatspeak and a lazy style, as well as sloppy grammar, that would be radically different from my regular posting style, thus my account would fall under suspicion. That's what I meant. I could be a total jerk or the nicest person ever, but if the posting style is consistent, I'd assume it's the same person.
Of course, there's no 100% way to prove if someone's sharing an account or got their account hijacked, I'm just saying that such changes may help us hunt down such possible cases. We'll try not to act rashly in any case and investigate any case we may find suspicious. Though, I'd hope such cases won't occur frequently and that people are sane enough not to share their own accounts with anyone.
I hope that helps.
